EUR/USD outlook: a new upward channel has been formed

Share:

Yesterday’s economic data allowed the EUR/USD pair to break through the resistance level and fix a new weekly high near the 1.1250 level. The growth was possible after the US Dollar fell yesterday. The overall sentiment remained positive for the currency pair at the Asian session amid trade negotiations between the US and China. Recent reports of trade talks indicate that Trump will soon be talking to Chinese officials. Even the Chinese colleague calls for a faster settlement instead of a long Cold War. It is noteworthy that the trade problems that arose several years ago significantly influenced the various moods in the business world. The USD index may go further up against the background of positive data on the consumer price index for April.

EUR/USD technical analysis

The Euro found support near the 1.1175 and 1.1180 levels and recently recovered higher against the US Dollar. The EUR/USD pair broke the key 1.1200 resistance level to move into a positive zone.

The upward move was such that there was a close above 1.1210 level and 50 hourly simple moving average. The pair even broke a major bearish trend line at 1.1200 on the hourly chart.

The pair traded as high as 1.1250 recently and it corrected towards the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 1.1173 low to 1.1250 low. However, the 1.1210 support level is acting as a strong support.

The pair already recovered above 1.1220 and it seems like it could continue to move higher towards the 1.1240 and 1.1250 levels in the near term. On the downside, the main supports are near the 1.1210 and 1.1200 levels.
